Chalk up another one for our great healhcare system. The hospitals are so overwhelmed with complaints that they cannot keep up with the demand. The only time you get immediate treatment in a emergency room is if you are carted in by an ambulance. And sometimes that is iffy.
I had an occasion to bring a neighbor to the hospital after a surgical drain that was put in misfunctioned and she was bleeding. When we arrived I was told not to ever take anyone to the ER, but to call for an ambulance. They have first preferance. Makes sense, but what about the pneumonia case?
